So far the summer goal to expand on this blogging hobby has failed. There have been many times when things have been blog worthy (and of course in my eyes -- everything) and I would keep a mental note of it, only to dismiss it later as a result of being too lazy to write an elaborate report on it. I always feel the need to explore further into the topic (like trying to be deep or sum'in ....) but I find that this approach has begun to feel like a chore and I just cannot afford to sit on my ass for that long while the sun is shining and there are a billion things to prepare for in the next month! Maybe this is why people 'tweet' instead? Hahahah I can already see the gals giving me da beesh eyebrownz ... mad smhz! CONFESSION: now that I have a crackberry, I may or may not jot stuff down in memos sometimes when they come to mind hahahahaha seriousssssssly who the hell do I think I am?? Wow. Sorry, I can't help it that I have something to say about everything. Hahahahah whole new level baby!
Random thoughts in the last few weeks [short versions lol]:
- Biggest loser finale BOOYAH go Mike (lost 264 lbs; 50.4% body fat ... CRAAZEH!!!). Another amazing, heartfelt and inspirational season. I had
never been one to cry easily but the amount of tears that have poured outta me seems to increase ten-folds w/ each year. Who am I and is this what they call 'growth'?? Ick. I am becoming such a sensitive creature who is apparently getting more in touch with her 'inner self'. Double ick (Lies, I freaking love it and will embrace the heck out of it!!). Seeing people shed these insane numbers after triumphing over so many obstacles and personal struggles is mind-blowing, motivating and also a confirmation that anything is possible through the strongest of will and perseverance.
- Losing it With Jillian Michaels -- FML. Tuesday nights continue to be cryfests (first BL, now this). "Why are you going to choose failure when success is an option?" ... "Now you're at crossroads, make a different choice." I have no words .... only tears and the drive to live a better life. And maybe the slightest wish that she would magically appear at our house too for some much needed life-coaching. Jilliannnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!
- Saw an ice-cream truck on-the-go with music blaring and a bunch of kids (and a couple fatties much like us) chasing after it. The excitement and happiness in their faces made me wanna frolic along with them. It got me thinking back to the last time when I felt this genuinely
happy. Hmmmm. Ooooh right, when I finally got ma leopard-print Snuggieeee!!!!! Hahahaha. 'Never lose your childlike wonder' (Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture). The drive to achieve more and get further in life because we kept our curiosity, had no worries, knew no limits, continued to explore, lived simply and remained thirsty for life. Stuck with me since I read the book last year ... next possible tattoo?? (Not the pic, though cute hahaha). Loved loved loved that book. He suggested for us to keep a crayon in our pockets at all times so that we could be reminded of the smell of childhood to bring us back whenever we felt stuck. Well then I guess I better start buying clothes with pockets big enough to fit boxes of Pocky, fruit roll-ups and Dilly Bars!!! Fotty fotty fotty.- Sometimes I feel like there is more to do living in a small town than in a big city. Love nature. The world has turned.
- Definitely getting cholera in Nairobi. Dukarol still sitting on table ... a packet of brown powder that fizzes when put in water and tastes really bad. First dose supposed to be taken on May 15th. Annnnd it continues to sit. FML.
Time is winding down, summer is finally about to truly begin.
